LOUD & CLEAR




... I never have any problem giving compliments to others, infact I love giving them even to strangers... I would say something like, "... you are so sweet..." or "you look great today..." or "you have such nice eye brows!" ...What, eyebrows!!? no typo here... YES!...eyebrows!! Do you know how hard it is to shape a pair of well balanced eyebrows?! Unfortunately there are too many people out there who over-plucked their eyebrows these days... so when I see nice looking shapely eyebrows, they deserve the compliments...heehee! Anyhow, hope you get the point; that I am generally... how to put it mildly and humbly??? I'm just a generous and kind person that way... But why do I have a problem receiving compliments at times? Being a stunning beauty with a heart of gold like myself... (heehee... alright! I'm afraid this is getting TOO MUCH to be 'self - complimentary'!!! ...sorry guys!) Anyway, when I do get a compliment from someone (besides from myself! hee!!), usually I just wrinkle my nose and say 'thanks...' in my ridiculous 'shy - 4 years old child's' voice'... isn't that so silly of me?! ...not only that, usually it follows with a huge blush... there's usually no mirror on sight, but I can feel my face turnning hot all of a sudden... blood rushing through that particular neighborhood and zip code! LENORENEVERMORE is curious why can't I take compliments very well? ...hmmm??
Is it perhaps growing up, my siblings and I didn't get enough compliments from our own parents? woooh...what childhood scars some of us still have...hee! ...such an easy way to always blame everything on our parents isn't it? ...let's save that soppy sad story for some other time shall wee...hee! Nice compliments to all...generously and sincerely shall we...
